Morning Bliss: Embrace the Aqaba Sunrise

As the first light of dawn breaks over Aqaba, the city awakens to a serene December morning. The sun rises at 7:26 AM, casting a golden hue over the Red Sea, inviting you to start your day with a sense of calm and wonder. The clear skies and comfortable temperatures, ranging from 56°F to 69.3°F, make it an ideal time to explore the coastal beauty of Aqaba.

Begin your adventure with a morning snorkeling session at the renowned Berenice Beach Club. The Aqaba Snorkeling offers an early start at 9:00 AM, allowing you to dive into the crystal-clear waters of the Red Sea. With visibility stretching up to 15 miles, you’ll be mesmerized by the vibrant marine life and stunning coral formations. The mild wind adds a refreshing touch, making your snorkeling experience even more exhilarating.

After your underwater exploration, take a leisurely stroll along the beach, soaking in the tranquil atmosphere. The moderate humidity and gentle breeze create a perfect setting for relaxation. As you walk, let the sound of the waves and the scent of the sea envelop you, setting the tone for a day filled with adventure and discovery.

Afternoon Adventures: Dive into Aqaba’s Marine Wonders

As the sun reaches its zenith, the temperature peaks at a comfortable 69.3°F, making it the perfect time to embark on an afternoon adventure. Head back to the Berenice Beach Club for the Glass Boat & Snorkeling experience, available from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM. This two-hour excursion offers a unique blend of relaxation and excitement, with one hour dedicated to coral viewing from a glass-bottom boat and another hour for snorkeling.

The boat ride takes you to some of the most captivating spots in the Red Sea, including the famous Japanese Garden and intriguing wrecks like a sunken tank and airplane. As you glide over the water, the captain skillfully maneuvers the boat, allowing you to admire the underwater wonders at a leisurely pace. The experience is enhanced by the complimentary soft drinks and the attentive crew, ensuring a memorable journey.

“A pleasant and exciting 2-hour excursion - We did the 2-hour activity including a 1-hour visit to the reef with the glass-bottom boat and an hour of snorkeling. It was a very good experience: the reef being close to the starting point, the travel time is very short, a few minutes, which leaves time to fully enjoy the reef. The captain maneuvers slowly so that everyone can admire the corals and wrecks (plane, tank, boat, etc.). For the second part, diving with a mask and snorkel, safety is respected and everyone will find something for themselves: those who are comfortable will move away from the boat with a member of the team, the less daring will stay close to the boat (with a buoy provided). In short, a short but busy activity which allows a first approach to the underwater depths of the Red Sea with a professional team. Being able to then enjoy the Berenice club, with its beach, restaurant and swimming pools, is a real plus.” - Reviewed at 2024-04-11
